PETER SOLESTON
son of
B A C C H U S
name: peter william soleston. nicknamed 'peter pan' around camp. it's a bit odd, because when they refer to him as peter pan, they don't mean the one from the the disney stories. they mean the original peter pan, the one who killed the lost boys when he thought they were growing up. tells a lot about his personality, doesn't it? the name 'peter' derives from the greek word 'petros', which means 'stone' or 'rock'. it's quite fitting, actually, considering his heart is about as cold as stone.
age: seventeen years old
gender: male
eyes: his eyes are of the stormiest shade of blue imaginable - easily clouding when he's angry, and remaining dark, almost midnight blue, most of the time.
hair: a bit of a mess, honestly. short enough for roman standard approval, but usually just left hastily swept to one side, sometimes upwards. his hair is of a light brownish colour, sometimes even appearing blonde.
height: 1.77 meters, or 5'8
body type: he's a pretty lanky guy for a roman legionnaire. he has skinny legs and not-so-buff arms, but his body is built for agility. he's quick on his feet and a very fast runner, due to his light weight. overall a slim, lean body.
skin color: pale as hell. seriously, he needs to get out into the sun more.
He said, "Peter Pan.. That's what they call me."
godly parent: bacchus, the roman counterpart of dionysus. bacchus is the god of wine, madness, parties, ecstasy, grape-harvest and theater.
mortal parent: kayla soleston, but more on her later.
country of origin: canada
pets: none. it's probably better for the world that the guy doesn't keep a pet.
talents:
+sword fighting:
peter's quite ace when it comes to swords. he's a great swordsman, and he honestly kinda sucks when it comes to spears or him using a pillum, but he isn't too bad at archery.
+hockey:
surprisingly, he's a good hockey player. odd, but he's got some skills.
+art
peter is a pretty good artist. not many people know this, but when it comes to sketches, peter is amazing.
weapon**: an imperial gold sword, that morphs into his watch when not in use.
Neverland is home to lost boys like me, and lost boys like me are free.
personality: it's not easy to describe peter without portraying him in a bad light. the few good things about him? he's hard-working and his determination goes far. he handles tasks that are given to him quickly. he's witty and very intelligent, as well as cunning and ambitious. when he's set his mind to accomplish something, he will finish what he's started, and he won't let anyone get in his way. he'll go to extreme ends to get what he wants. this is where the majority of his personality really starts to be seen. peter is a manipulative person, who fools others into thinking he's always the 'good guy' with his charm and 'innocent' appearance. he is extremely dismissive of other people's feelings, and frankly, he simply doesn't care about anyone else but himself. when he gets angry, which happens quite a lot, honestly, he can get nasty. he'll throw fits and become rather aggressive. he has a sharp tongue, with an extensive vocabulary of insults, and is definitely not afraid to use them. the other campers call him 'peter pan', and by that, they mean the original peter pan - the one who killed the lost boys when he thought they were growing up, and switched sides during battles (hence killing his own lost boys) just for the fun of it. another nickname he's been given is 'octavian 2.0,' which is what some of the older campers call him. however, there is a reason for his rude and often cruel personality. peter has gone through a little too much for him to go back to who he used to be. at the end of the day, he's actually emotionally scarred, though he would never even think of admitting it. he is, in more ways than one, quite insane. it's just a matter of time before he cracks and goes completely mental.
flaws: peter is manipulative as well as extremely dismissive of other's feelings. basically, he doesn't care about anyone but himself. he is easily angered and way too sarcastic for his own good. he can be quite cruel and sadistic, as well as two-faced. most of his flaws have been thoroughly explained above, in his personality.
abilities (must relate to god parent; optional):
+peter has the ability to revive recently withering, or dead, grape vines. this ability is very similar to what the children of demeter/ceres can do.
+as a child of bacchus, he doesn't ever get drunk/intoxicated.
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me.
powers (must relate to god parent; optional): chlorokinesis, which is the ability summon, control and manipulate plants and vegetation. however, he can only manipulate plants that are pertain to alcohol (those that grow food), because he is a son of dionysus, and not ceres.
+he can use this ability to have his enemies ensnared in plants, by manipulating plants to wrap around his targets. the strength of the vines could be strong enough to suffocate his victim. this ability lasts for two posts and requires a three post cool down.
+he can weaponize plants by hitting or grasping his target with roots and vines, and projecting thorns at a distance. the thorns can be thrown up to a distance of six meters. this ability lasts for two posts and requires a three post cool down.
life before camp*: peter's past is extremely complicated. it wasn't easy for him and his single mother, who was struggling to support both her and peter. soon enough, she got married to joseph irwin, who was a nice enough step father to peter. however, joseph was a workaholic, and was often not home. he had a step brother, named jacob, who was around eight years older than peter. the marriage between peter's mom (kayla) and joseph was a turbulent one. the few times where joseph actually came home from work resulted in arguments. peter stayed out of them, because he was still quite young, but jacob, being older, usually ended up in the arguments, too. kayla and joseph were too busy arguing to pay much attention to peter, and that caused peter to go a little too far to receive their attention. he'd do bad things, like skipping school or being a plain nuisance at restaurants or shopping malls just so they'd have to give him some attention. but things really took a turn for the worst when joseph and kayla divorced, and jacob moved out of the house, tired of his torn-apart family. kayla fell into a state of depression, and soon became abusive. she'd hit peter a little too hard sometimes and yell at him for the smallest things. and then, one night, it happened - peter actually ran away from home. he didn't make it that far until he was spotted by a manticore and nearly killed, until a roman demigod rescued him and brought him over to camp. throughout all those years of family affairs, peter blamed one person above all for what had been happening to his family - bacchus. his past had ultimately shaped him into his cruel and sadistic personality.
rp example*: the dark clouds above became awfully evident as peter glanced up, the wind brushing against his hair and clothes. before he could even mutter a curse word, thunder rumbled and the rain came pouring down just as quickly as the clouds had appeared. peter was completely soaked - drenched from head to toe. he stared, glaring angrily at the sky, and he swore he would strangle jupiter if he could. whatever, he'd just have to take his anger out on the other campers. maybe he'd make that stupid colton kid clean his shoes, which were dirty from the mud he'd been walking in. he turned on his heel and started to jog out of the field of mars.
I am a lost boy from Neverland, usually hanging out with Peter Pan.
any notes about your characters: face claim is robbie kay. peter is to be assigned to a cohort by an approver. he is based off of the original peter pan, or, more accurately, once upon a time's version of him. peter is actually my first truly evil character, so this is kind of a challenge to me to have a character like him, i guess. the words in italics under the gifs are lyrics from the song 'lost boy' by ruth b.
